• mamatham Textbox Caret Line, Col

  I'm trying to find the Line and Column of the caret. When I searched these forums earlier, I found a this Function: I just tried the function and it says GetLineFromCharIndex is not a member of Textbox. Perhaps I should have mentioned I am using VB.NET 2003. I don't know if this would make a difference, whether it is a member of textbox on older or newer versions, but I apologize for the confusion. Have you considered using a Richtextbox which has numerous methods and properties for getting characters, selection, insertion point and even a method "ScrollToCaret". Trying to find a particular position or character is much easier with a Richtextbox! /* Here's an easier way that ...Show All

• guy kolbis Mutiple solutions with both project and file references to the same assembly causing compiler errors

  We have a very large application consisting of more than 20 VB projects developed in VS.NET 2003. The current application is using project references for everything in one large solution. However this is getting unwieldy as opening the solution uses up most of the system resources. Once you debug and step into code the problem becomes even worse and is practically unusable. This application is going to become larger with time and we would like to move to a multiple solution model to help alleviate this problem but are running into assembly reference issues. The problem occurs when trying to reference an assembly by both project and file in the same solution. We have a small solution that builds a shared library let's call CommonLibrary1 ...Show All

• ennisb Nested classes as arrays

  I'm still getting lost in some of the features/syntax of .net (VB2005), so my searches through here and on the net so far have been fruitless. I am reading in a data set to my program. I have created classes for the different types of data that i will be processing. I have declared arrays of the various classes to store the info. Where I am having problems is with the data that is multi-leveled, for lack of a better word. For example lets say i have a 'MyPlant' class. Nested in the 'MyPlant' class I have a class for 'Stems', a class for 'Fruit', each of these nested classes have thier own properties, methods, etc. Additionally each plant may have a different number of stems, and pieces of fruit.
